And I know that feature is in the works. So hopefully it won't be long for it's released. Totally agree Paul. And I know that feature is in the works.

Basically, subscriptions working on the iPhone would be great. Downloads can be both problematic and slow over 3G especially here in the UK with a flaky network!

This is easily done with the PC edition of PressReader. I download a number of papers this way every day. You set up subscriptions to the papers you want and PressReader checks for the latest issues every few minutes (at an interval you choose in the configuration). As soon as it finds that issue it starts downloading it. Of course, the PressReader program must be running on your PC. I just turn on my computer in the morning, start PressReader and the latest issues of my subscribed papers start downloading. If any current issues haven't been posted, PressReader will find them within a few minutes of arrival. Of course, if you leave your computer on while you sleep PressReader will download issues before you wake up. “Suggestion (if not yet addressed) in both PC and iPhone: automatic scheduled download of “subscribed” papers.”

If all the installed pdf printers worked with pressreader the problem wouldn't be so bad. I still cannot get PressReader to print to some network printers and only some pdf printers work. Why can't PressReader see all installed printers and why can it print to some pdf printers but not Adobe Acrobat? Will these bugs be sorted in a Linux version of PressReader?

Papers download takes too long (specially in iPhone). Thus, making it convenient to have papers early delivered (as in your door).

Sorry David - you were so quick on the draw and tried it out before we could add the "free" trial part. If you try downloading another title, you won't have to pay for it.

I paid 99c for the app and had to pay for all the titles I purchased - didn't get 7 free or the app for free. David Thanks Gayle.

Automatic downloads were implemented, but not approved by Apple, so we're trying to find a new way to offer them. That is going to require some updates to the application. The application itself is free, and we offer 7 free downloads of titles, but after that you are correct....you have to pay 99 cents for each issue you download. Unfortunately Apple would not allow us to offer all titles for free to our current subscribers of PressDisplay. This battle has been going on for months, which delayed our release. Finally we gave into Apple and are charging for each issue, but we're lobbying to get an exemption for our subscribers. It's a very painful process. Your payment for each title you download is done through your iTunes account, so you need an account on iTunes to purchase titles through PressReader. Gayle Hey David.
